What the care home does well

Assessments of people`s needs are completed well, with additional assessment being obtained from specialists when needed. These needs were reflected in care planning and staff instructions were clear, ensuring people`s needs are met in the home. Care plans and risk assessments were reviewed on a regular basis and people`s weights were monitored. Care plans also reflect people`s interests and daily preferences. An activities person is employed to provide additional stimulation for people. Staff have access to regular updates in their training which includes palliative care, dementia and NVQ`s. The manager operates an open door policy and has regular meetings with relatives. One relative said, "I am happy with the care staff they always keep me informed and my wife always looks clean and tidy". One person living in the home said "I would see the manager if I were not happy, but it is good here, warm, good food and nice people".

What has improved since the last inspection?

There have been a number of improvements to the environment since the last inspection that include: redecoration, some new carpets in bedrooms and dining rooms and kitchen refurbishments on individual units. The manager has also introduced weekly doctors` rounds to monitor people`s needs and any adjustments to medication. The quality of food and choices offered have improved since the last inspection and an additional chef has been employed. One person said "I really like it here; what I enjoy about it is the choice of food which suits me fine, I am a vegetarian but still have plenty of choice". One member of staff is now a trained moving and handling facilitator to ensure staff receive training and refresher courses on a regular basis. A new key worker system is in operation with people`s key worker`s photograph being put up in people`s bedrooms so they and their relatives know who to discuss any issues with.A dementia library is a available for staff and visitors to access. The manager reported that some relatives had also chosen to take part in dementia training to provide a deeper understanding of the illness.

What the care home could do better:

Outcomes for people were very positive on this visit and no requirements have been made. However, there were two good practice issues that the manager said she would address. These were in relation to receipts obtained for people`s expenditure, which should be obtained individually, where possible. Also, once gaps in staff`s working histories have been explored verbally, the outcomes should be recorded for future reference.

Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes This was a key inspection that included a site visit to the home. The manager was not told beforehand that we were coming to inspect, this is called an unannounced inspection. This inspection looked at all the key standards and included a review of all available information received by the Commission for Social Care (CSCI) about the service provided at the home since the last inspection. During the site visit information was taken from various sources, including observing care practices and talking to people in the home. The manager, relatives, residents and some members of the staff team were also interviewed. A tour of the home was undertaken and a sample of care, employment and health and safety records were seen. The CSCI requires the home to complete an annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) in order to demonstrate the level of care provided. The manager had completed this in full and comparisons were made with this document at the time of inspection. On this inspection the outcomes for people in the home did reflect that indicated by the manager in the AQAA, especially in relation to daily life, personal care and protection. However, the manager had recognised how improvements could be made and was taking steps to address the issues. There had been five complaints since the last inspection, all of which had been appropriately addressed by the manager. Three allegations in connection with the protection of vulnerable adults had been investigated since the previous key inspection. In all cases, the home followed the appropriate inter-agency procedures and co-operated fully with the independent investigators.

EVIDENCE: The statement of purpose and service user guide can be found in the reception area of the home, together with the last inspection report for prospective service users to view. Four case files were examined, one from each unit. All were found to have a detailed assessment of the service user’s needs that reflected their emotional, physical, and social needs. Social interests, preferred activities and hobbies were also included in the assessment. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 In some instances, additional assessment had been sought from other professionals who had been involved with care delivery and assessment, for example, Community Psychiatric Nurses and Dieticians.

Staff training in line with people’s needs ensured people’s physical and emotional needs were meet in a supportive and respectful manner. EVIDENCE: The home provides nursing care and support across a range of needs that includes people with different stages of dementia. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) stated that improvements made since the last inspection has included weekly Doctors’ rounds with the manager, which we saw taking place whilst we were at the home. A care plan was in place for all assessed needs identified prior to people entering the home. These also include dementia care plans linked to specialised assessments. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Risk assessments were in place and the nutritional needs of people were monitored. People were weighed regularly and the manager undertakes monthly checks to ensure any weight loss is identified and a care plan implemented. Good instructions were in place for staff on how to encourage people to eat and dealing with challenging behaviour. Care plan review dates were recorded and a record of professional visits was completed. Daily notes were detailed and reflected the care given. People’s social interests and sexuality were recorded, for example, one person likes to wear perfume, make-up and earrings. We observed that this request had been carried out. Relative interviews were positive about the home, saying “I am very happy with the care, staff always keep me informed”, “My wife always looks clean and tidy” and “sometimes my wife refuses care and staff just wait and ask again later”. Another said “My husband has difficulty eating and they gave supplement drinks to ensure that he does not lose weight” also “staff always attend to personal hygiene well”. Service users said, “staff are very nice and helpful”. A member of staff had trained as a moving and handling facilitator to ensure that staff receive training in moving and handling at the time of their induction. Equipment in the home included standing hoist, hoist, swing chair, banana boards and moving belts. The manager monitors accidents in the home in order to identify patterns, times and areas where accidents have occurred. There was documented evidence of staff training in Palliative Care, Dementia Awareness and Health and Safety. Medication records were examined and were recorded well, with a procedure in place for checking medication upon receipt from the pharmacist. Each unit has a medication audit every month and the manager undertakes spot drug takes. Controlled drugs were stored appropriately. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15. Service users find the lifestyle experienced in the home matches their expectations and preferences, and satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. Service users maintain contact with family/ friends/ representatives and the local community as they wish. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. Service users receive a wholesome appealing balanced diet in pleasing surroundings at times convenient to them. The Commission considers all of the above key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 12, 13, 14 & 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. Mealtime choices and activities had improved and lifestyle preferences of people are respected. EVIDENCE: The last inspection identified that most negative comments were in relation to meals and service. Menus have been fully reviewed and two chefs have now been recruited. We dined with people in the home and discussed the quality of food and choices available to them and made observations of the dining process. People’s comments included: “Food is very good, you get too much”, “Staff are very helpful” and “I have not been here very long, but it is OK, not much to do, would rather stay in my room; there is no problem with that”. Another person said “I am a vegetarian but still have a lot of choice, also the activity person does glass painting with us which I have put on to my window. I like to help with household chores like setting tables and washing and drying the dishes”. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Menus are on display in large print, they were also on the information board of the home for the relatives to view. The main meal of the day is served at teatime and staff were observed helping people in a sensitive manner. There was a choice of a hot meal both at lunch and tea time, fruit juice was on each table and there was a choice of tea or coffee. Tables were set in an attractive manner. Coffee is available for relatives in reception, together with a display of people’s art and craft work. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment stated improvements have been made since the last inspection, which included recruiting and additional activities person and acquiring the use of a mini bus. One relative said “Staff do really well with social events. People have a notice on their bedroom doors when it is their Birthday and a cake is provided”. A record of activities and participants was also maintained. Photos of staff are on the wall in reception and the introduction of a new key worker for system will have staff pictures on bedroom doors for relatives and people to refer to if they have any problems. People felt that daily life was flexible saying, “I like to go to bed at 6:30pm and watch my own TV in comfort”. People’s preferences were recorded in care planning, an example being “likes to get up at 5am always an early riser”. Several people had a map of life completed that improves the ability of staff to provide individualised activities. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be.

The log of complaints maintained in the home was looked at and presented as being appropriately maintained. Since the last key inspection, some complaints had been received by the Commission for Social Care Inspection and were passed back to the provider to deal with. Information subsequently received indicated that these had been appropriately dealt with. One service user who was spoken to said “I have no complaints or concerns and would see the manager if I weren’t happy”. Observation of interactions between staff and service users presented as relaxed. There was documentary evidence that staff had received training in connection with safeguarding vulnerable adults. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Three allegations in connection with the protection of vulnerable adults had been investigated since the previous key inspection. In all cases, the home followed the appropriate inter-agency procedures and co-operated fully with the independent investigators. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standard 19 & 26 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. People live in a safe and well-maintained environment that they have personalised and are provided with equipment to promote their independence. EVIDENCE: Appropriate equipment is provided for moving and handling, toileting and bathing in a safe environment. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment stated that improvements had been made and gave examples of new kitchens and flooring, and new carpets in some bedrooms and dining rooms throughout the home. Plans for the future include an increase in domestic hours and plans for a sensory garden area, raised flowerbeds and conservatory. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 All communal areas and a selection of bedrooms were inspected on each unit. Bedroom doors had photos and personal items for recognition. Bathroom and toilet signage was also in picture format. People and their relatives had chosen to personalise their rooms providing a homely appearance. One person had chosen to bring in their own bed. At the time of inspection ELM unit was undergoing redecoration. The environment was clean, tidy and free from odour. A maintenance person is employed full-time to maintain safety and standards in the home. A colour code traffic light system was placed on doors to alert new or agency staff to the dependence levels of the person in the room. Red for full assistance, green for mobile and yellow for minimal assistance. Wardrobe doors also had a mobility assessment and risk care plan to provide additional information to staff while providing care for people in their rooms. One person and their relative said, “I have no problems, I am very happy with this room”. A twinkle room is also available for quiet relaxation. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 27, 28, 29 & 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. Recruitment and vetting procedures are effectively applied to minimise the risk to service users of inappropriate staff being employed. The numbers and skill mix of staff on duty promotes the independence and well being of service users. EVIDENCE: Staffing levels were reported by the manager as being predominantly supplied in two shifts. The day shift between 08:00 and 20:00, and the night shift from 20:00 to 08:00. During the day three carers plus one nurse are provided on three units, with three carers provided for the remaining unit, which does not provide nursing care. Additionally, a ‘twilight’ staff member has been added to two of the ‘nursing’ units between 18:00 and 22:00. The staff rota for the week beginning 25th May 2008 was looked at and provided evidence that these levels were maintained. Staffing levels are complemented by auxiliary staff in the kitchen who also undertake the domestic work. There was good documentary evidence that staff had access to a range of appropriate training, including palliative care, dementia awareness, protection of vulnerable adults and various health and safety related courses. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The manager reported that the ‘care’ staff included 14 qualified nurses and 28 other carers. Of those 28, five were reported as having NVQ II and nine as having NVQ III. At the time of the site visit not all certificates were available to verify these qualifications as, it was reported by the manager and a staff member, they had been sent to Head Quarters to enable pay rates to be adjusted. Staff at interview, confirmed the availability and attendance at training. A sample of staff files was looked at in connection with the recruitment and vetting practises at Treelands. These were predominantly well maintained, giving good evidence that appropriate checks are undertaken before a new member of staff starts work. This process would be improved by the inclusion of a written record of the exploration of gaps in employment history or anomalies with references. Service users who were spoken to were positive about the staff team. For example, one person said ‘Staff are very nice and helpful’ and another said, “[the] carers are very good.” Also “I have never seen staff being disrespectful.” Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping, policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 31, 33, 35 & 38 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. The manager is competent to run the home, use the quality audit systems and implement the health and safety procedures for the benefit of service users and staff. EVIDENCE: The qualifications and experience of the manager have been confirmed at previous inspections and were not looked at in detail at this site visit. However, she continued to present as competent and maintaining an up to date knowledge of the conditions affecting old age. One visitor who was spoken to lives abroad, and was pleased that she still gets good communication from the manager via e-mail. This visitor was very satisfied and said, “[I] couldn’t wish for a better place”. Treelands Care Home DS0000042440.V365478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 There was documentary evidence that the organisation sends out regular surveys to a random selection of stakeholders. There was also documentary evidence that the manager took action when an issue was identified. There was no specific recent analysis of returned surveys. The Operation Manager reported that she was aware that the company had recruited external quality audit consultants who were working their way round the different homes in the organisation. This process will include an independent analysis of the results of the surveys and the creation of an action plan to address any issues identified. The manager and another member of staff confirmed that surveys from the Commission for Social Care Inspection had been distributed, although the inspectors had received none at the time of the site visit. A selection of records relating to money held by Treelands on behalf of service users was looked at. The records presented as being appropriately maintained to safeguard the interests of the service users. One example was seen where one receipt had been obtained for a selection of toiletries for several service users. The process would be even better if there was a specific record of which toiletries each service user had received, rather than only the proportion of the total amount charged to them. At previous inspections the home has been found to have appropriate procedures to address health and safety issues. A range of documentation relating to both routine maintenance and regular testing of equipment was available to be looked at. A small sample was chosen at random and found to be appropriately maintained. No issues indicating that health and safety are compromised was identified from a tour of the building or discussion with staff and service users.
